HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.

Thank you for this excellent summary of the dystopian future awaiting us when a future government forces us to go cashless.
Personally I use cash wherever I can, only resorting to cards for big ticket items.
Just a few examples why cash will never disappear. Tradies always want to be paid in cash to avoid GST. Yoga teachers don't have card facilities, it's cash only. When the computer breaks down in the cafe, you go without if you don't have cash. Same in Woolies. Cash is the backup when systems fail.
Definitely food for thought.
Plenty of food for thought there.
Dont forget those who are struggling with money management following personal debt crises - such people often rely on a cut-up-cards-use-cash-only system to help them get back on track. And pensioners who do not have home computers or smart phones and are genuinely scared of digital banking.
And dont get me started on the Times and Daily Mail telling people [incorrectly] you can catch covid by handling real money . The pitiful apologies in small print which they published after the World Health Organisation pointed out their error were too small to be seen by the panicking people ...
I always pay with cash and it's getting harder and harder to do because a few places do demand we use a card. I go out with a group of twelve for lunch once a month and I'm only one of two who uses cash and we're all seniors! This shocks me how quickly they've jumped on to the cashless band wagon and I never, ever give my card to someone who takes it out of my sight, like waitresses do.
I doubt we will see it in our lifetime, but eventually I guess it will happen.
My husband always pays in cash. Recently our local hardware store "rounded up" even though he had exact change. I wish I was there for that conversation. He lost that argument, but they lost a customer.
Yes people need to realise this. I always pay cash whenever I can, my food money is drawn out once a month and I always carry a certain amount of cash in my purse. It's amazing how spending cash helps you to actually spend less too, you tend to think twice about spending money you can actually see.
I sure wouldn't like it!!! Some great points!
One more thing, I wouldn't find coins when I go walking. :)
This sounds terrifying! I have always hated people talking about a cashless society! Also, I often want to give a little something to someone homeless. I don't think they would be carrying about cash machines with them!
